PARANOIA

It has been a weirdly hard time for me, again!

My dear blog, I do apologize. I don't mean to abandon you! x.
(Yes I am talking to a website, because the post is titled paranoia and I have to get myself into the mood, did you see the "x"? My god!)

But I will continue posting. I haven't seen ANY of the fall 2011 shows, apart from random posts on tumblr (I've seen plenty of Christopher Kane details, which I loved), so next week I have to sit down and see them all. Then I'll post some thoughts.

So, those are pictures I collected from tumblr, mostly gifs, colorful, paranoiac?(whatever) I'm just posting them to translate the state of mind I'm in right now, everything hectic... And, it's been all day that I'm watching a Madonna favorite over and over again. Paranoia, watch!


It's art, paranoiac surrealism. I want this Madonna!

PAPERSCULPTURES

Flesh
These are some experiments. Paper, tape, paint, folding and gluing. It is fantastic how I find beauty in the simplest of things. Now the room's walls are full of such, dare I say, sculptures! The pink one reminds me of a human organ, maybe the heart, I call it "flesh". Try it, it's very fun and addictive!

BANALDEPRESSION

Post-"Dancer in the dark", (a film by Lars von Trier, starring Bjork and Catherine Deneuve) I felt like a corpse! The film had put me in a deeply depressing mood, with a fast heartbeat and death-related thoughts. I had to save my mind! Loud music to overshadow my inner voice, a camera to shoot the pages of a magazine and Photoshop to throw them all together. I don't know, but maybe the following banal, digital collages are products of my temporary depression attacks? Oh and there's a lot of Prada!







I still think of "Dancer in the dark" but I'm much better!

By the way, all photos were taken from FT How to spend it, February issue, and I'm writing this in tiny letters because the title of the magazine has been criticized by commentators for being "disrespectful".

MYSTERIES

There are secret worlds. I have always been fascinated by them! Dark mysteries and secrets we will never learn. The dark side of history and the mysterious modern world. Powerful forces controlling and changing the way the world and the system function. 

The Vatican, freemasonry, world wars, stock exchanging crashes, cold war, the United States, Russia, cursed objects, deeply rich and old families, the outer space, moon landings and dark architecture, are some of the things I'm constantly reading and trying to learn about! It's food for your mind, I want to make you think and probably get inspired!
Sistine Chapel
St. Peter's square, Vatican City
Swiss Guard
Swiss Guard, I adore the uniform
Freemasons
Nazis
Atomic bomb testing

Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe,  Berlin
Wall Street crash of 1929 
The Wall Street bull,  symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity
The White House
Washington
Kremlin, Moscow
The Hope diamond
Rockefellers 
Hubble telescope shot
Moon landing, 1969
Milan cathedral 
Stained glass at La Sainte-Chapelle

All of these, through the years had a sensible effect on art and the fashion industry! I am always extremely excited to discover history through fashion for example. For Spring 2011 Marios Schwab presented a collection that was, for me, very dark and mystical. Also, John Galliano often uses religious symbols to his collections or for Dior's. Have a look!
 Masonic symbols printed on the dresses and the bags, and also beautifully decorating the laced dresses!
At John Galliano fall 2009 rosaries were used, even though it was weird because it was based on Russia and Russians are orthodox. And back in 2000 fall couture the Pope-dress! Stunning.


And then, I tried, pathetically, to create dark and mystical accessory settings. A white gothic-looking crystal and a red rosary, bought from the Vatican City!


Apparently we know nothing!

LUCIDDREAMING-VOL.2

Lucid dreaming is attaining dream awareness while you are still dreaming. And once you are in a dream,  you can direct it to anything you like!

Now I'm posting new ideas, new faces and new environments! In the photos below I am the person with the diamond head, or whatever...  And by the way, all of the scenarios are my interpretations of the photos! Enjoy.

Oh, and one more thing. There's a lot of vengeance mood below. Please forgive me but I was feeling like it!

-"Hiya!", she screamed.
-"Do you really think you can win because you have a stupid white kimono on?"
-"Shut it!"
-"No I won't. For your information I have one too! And it's black. And latex." I said ironically. Then she seemed like she was about to surrender. I was relieved but still alert!
Suddenly she screamed "Hiya!", again, in that retarded way! Deep down I knew she was playing with me, but really, who did she think she was? As she jumped high to attack me with her sword, I turned invisible. She lost control she went crazy! The sword was not even close to where she wanted it to be.
-"Where are you?", she angrily shouted!
-"Give up!", I warned.
-"Never.", she replied.
I got angry. She had underestimated my powers, even though I was still invisible. With a simple silent and transparent move I had taken her kimono off of her. She fell naked on the snow.
-"Please stop!", she cried.
-"Don't you ever dare to put me down again.", I said. Since, the world became a better place!!! 

-"Nothing really matters... Love is all we neeeeeed..." I whispered as I was waiting for the show to begin! "What takes so long", I said to Grace. She ignored my words. Anna kept her busy and they both clearly showed their disgust to me. Because they knew I was a blogger.
-"How do they even get these seats?", Anna whispered.
-"We've got competition.", Grace replied.
-"Is he wearing couture?"
-"Mhm", Grace murmured. 
To the right, Carine and Patrick talk about the future of Vogue Paris. I had realized they were talking about a replacement, but I could not clearly dissect the sentences! 
-"Yes, yes she would be absolutely perfect", Patrick said.
-"I think it's done", Carine agreed with him!
Little did I know! Within the next few weeks, Emmanuelle was announced.
Backstage, I went to congratulate the designer. I've heard Anna and Andre had asked the public relations team about me. How did I get the seat?. When they realized who I was, a tycoon, they immediately send me a request to feature me on the cover.
Request ignored. Got better things to do and learn!

Here it's the 20s. Somewhat before the crush. I had invented the first robot! A female robot. But it was not any robot, it was not just a machine. I had given it soul and mind, but not logic. It was made for one reason, to give fantasy and imagination to people, make them dream and think big!
-"What can I do with it?"
-"You can talk to her for a while, have a discussion maybe. You will be a different person after that!", I said to him passionately. 
-"I'll have her for a day", he replied tentatively.
He had never returned the robot back. Everything made sense when I had read in the papers that a major Wall Street banker had sold everything to become a painter. His works where later inducted to museums around the world. Since that, my invention was correcting the world one person at a time!

-"I don't hate anybody!"
-"This is not the case! You are accused for stealing. A f*cking idea!", the lawyer screamed. 
-"You know since I succeeded, everyone wants a piece of me. At first it was fun, but it really gets annoying!", I said calmly. "You either give up, or I prove who's right and you get lost from the face of earth".
They all laughed. I laughed with them too. Silly people I thought. It only took a weak clap to make the large table the stage for 3D figures that represented the real story. The plot and the game they had set up was now revealed. They turned red, I laughed at their funny faces. The video was now slowly fading...
-"What about now?", I said!
-"Who are you?"
"Get lost!" I screamed. They had all turned into a glittery powder. They had no idea of what I'm capable of doing. 
My world was now silent. The demons were finally gone.

"I am King George V. I really love my wife because she's great, kind and supportive! I have a problem speaking, but it's slowly fading away thanks to a therapist Elizabeth discovered. My daughters love listening to stories! They are both adorable.
I have to announce the war but I have to find the strength to tell my people. 
Please God help!" - Extract from my during-the-therapy diary. 

Last weekend, I went to a trip. Outer space! I had so much fun looking around at planets, the stars, the suns, the galaxies. What I enjoyed the most were supernova explosions. The colors were absolutely stunning, awe inspiring! There's a different vibe there, I felt serene, alone, happy! I like loneliness sometimes, but of course I wanted to share my experience with you. I had hubble telescope take a picture of me in front of a beautiful nebula! You cannot imagine what it feels like watching all of these happen in real life. 
Stars were falling by me, I had seen Earth change patterns and days, the Sun explode violently and planets interacting between them. Next time I'm taking all of you with me. I thought we should build a country-space house there for vacations. Believe me you will LOVE the view.

I am on Emmanuelle's first cover for French Vogue. She was considering Gisele, but she changed her mind and she decided she should find someone new and fresh. 
-"Gisele is boring, banal, overused, how do I make it clearer!", someone told her on the phone!
-"You've made that crystal clear, I'm already auditioning. Please stop whining!", Emmanuelle said on a phone call  during my interview at her new office. 
I felt uncomfortable, I was a candidate to replace a legend on the cover of Vogue Paris. 
-"Why do you think you should be on the cover?"
-"You are the new editor in chief. Right? You are in need of a brand new fetish model. A face that you would feel close to! Let me be that face"
She seemed seduced. My words were like magic, I could feel her excitement.
-"YES! You can go."
The next day, I was confirmed. The magazine became best seller. My confidence had earned made a career!
